As the fall semester is approaching, consider either re-building your grading rubrics or creating your very first rubric for your class/es. Rubrics offer a transparent and consistent form of grading that can help students know how to improve their work and can decrease your grading time. The process of creating effective grading rubrics can initially be very time consuming but will save you time later on.
